first I will buy 5 sets and sell what ever I have to get mine free?. After my last comment I looked thru some US mint order forms one from 1979 I have clearly said by U.S. Legislations no orders received after November 23 are guaranteed. it goes on to say the mint will not ship any coin sets dated 1979 after December 31st?.

why does the mint release a 2014 set in march of 2015 they will sell out and someone will probably make a profit. but my opinion is if they cant release a 2014 set in that year they shouldn’t sell it at all. the TV shows may even get a special label for them?. maybe they could make a couple 95 Ws for us.

Both the silver proof eagles in the 2012 and 2013 limited edition sets are the
the same as the proof coins the the same years (2012 and 2013).
You, we are paying extra for the packaging.

Actually, the note was also included in the 2012 set as well, and has nothing to do with the inside packaging – it refers specifically to the outer packaging, which can get minor white smudges on it from handling, and are easily wiped away.

All of the coins in the set were available in much less expensive sets, the silver proof and eagle proof sets. The numismatic value of the coins should be identical. The difference is in the packaging. Is this a real or an artificial difference? I always thought it was the coin that was important and not the package that it came in.

In reply to Cincinnatus. Cincinnatus, there is a numismatic value to coins such as these proofs found in the set that is higher than the face value or silver melt value. It has to do with rarity and desirability of the coins.

James, we are commenting on an article that specifically talks about the smudges that are found on the inside of the protective display case. The complaints to the mint have been made along with many sets being returned. That is why the mint started placing a little note in the packaging asking the customer, us, to clean the smudges off ourselves.

$2.85 face value for $139?

$139 for $47.96 cents worth of silver?

Am I missing something here?

The analogy is… it doesn’t matter if it’s inside or out. Big deal, its inside then. Did yall complain just to see your typing? Me, I would contact the manufacture. There is only a couple responsible for content of purchase, and the one who pays is usually first! Mmmm I complained goood!

James, I’m not sure what your getting at. The smudges are on the inside of the case that we paid a premium to have. It is not intended to be opened. It’s a protective display case. So in your analogy, the dust would be inside your soda can. Mmm drink up!
